Yes. A lot of scrappy play. No real flow from Atleti at all so far. Quite surprised nobody was marking Laporte.

Thanks. Looks taller than that though.

Good for Saul! I really really like this kid, he has the heart and courage of a lion despite being so young. The second half will be much more manageable being tied instead of being a goal down.

We really haven’t been able to create any clear chances so far which is worrying to me, and it has been a problem all season. I think in a game like this, the likes of Oliver Torres and Angel Correa could be very useful. Both have the power to open up defenses and work in tight spaces – Oliver with his passing and quick turns, Correa with his incisive dribbling.

Hopefully we can win this game and go top! You get the feeling that this is the type of game to be decided by a set piece. I hope Simeone keeps Vietto on the field and that he makes attacking substitutions if we need goals late in the game.
